Pep bought a player to do what Bernardo does out wide in Mahrez. Mahrez proved he couldn't do it. Nobody else in the squad has the ability to play that right wing the way Pep requires. Gund failed their famously the previous season. Mahrez was a disaster last season. The ONLY player with the trickery and ball retention ability to play in the entire squad is Bernardo (Sane is a direct player who never would be picked for that role). So yes, Pep will go to great lengths to play him there as it is an essential part of us breaking down defenses. If Mahrez was capable of doing what Pep bought him for, clearly Bernardo would have played where he would have had the most impact, in the center.

So when the title was on the line in our final game of the season away at Brighton Pep played the disaster on the right that is Mahrez. That was a HUGE gamble then.

The only thing I can think of is at Klanfield in the CL when Gundogan was put there on the team line ups before the game, although he played in central midfield.

If not that, I've no idea

Sane or Gundo ready to sign a contract extension?

Funnily enough - I think of one signs - so will the other. Hope both commit their long term futures. I was never a Gundogan fan but his performances at the end of last season had be scoffing ‘humble pie’. As for Sane he has it all - just needs to listen to Pep, watch Sterling , knuckle down and become world class.

Pep started Gund at on the right wing against Liverpool and he failed famously.

And Sane or Sterling too it appears.

Not necessarily. Bernardo and Sane/Sterling are completely different types of players. Pep prefers a player that can hold possession and successfully take on multiple defenders on the right. Sane and Sterling are not that kind of player.
